5. CS 8532: Adv. Software Eng. – Spring 2007 Dr. Hisham Haddad Course Overview - 1 System Engineering –The big picture for developing a product, service, or technology –It includes various elements - Hardware, Software, People, Data, Procedure, Polices, etc… –Each element is addressed by appropriate engineer discipline (such as Software Engineering, chapter 6) Requirements Engineering –Concepts and Principles –Gathering system requirements (tasks) –Process to be followed –Analysis principles - partitioning and modeling (use-cases) –Building analysis model –Requirement validations

6. CS 8532: Adv. Software Eng. – Spring 2007 Dr. Hisham Haddad Course Overview - 2 Analysis Models –Analysis rules –Data modeling: relationship between data objects (ERD) –Flow-oriented analysis: data transformation and flow (DFD) –OO Analysis: classes, relations, messages, behavior –Elements of OOA model: Techniques for OOA model: Use- cases, CRC-modeling, Class-Hierarchies –Behavioral modeling: modeling various states of the system and transitions between states (STD) (i.e., how the system behaves in terms of its events)

7. CS 8532: Adv. Software Eng. – Spring 2007 Dr. Hisham Haddad Course Overview - 3 Design Engineering: –Design process: transition from analysis to design –Design principles and concepts: abstraction, refinement, modularity, architecture, structural partitioning, information hiding, etc… –Design model: architecture, user interface, component design Architectural Design –Software architecture: what is it and why important –Data design: data modeling and data structures –Architectural styles: data-centered, data-flow, layered, call- return, OO –Mapping requirements to an architecture: sequence of steps

8. CS 8532: Adv. Software Eng. – Spring 2007 Dr. Hisham Haddad Course Overview - 4 Component-Level Design –Guidelines and concepts: interfaces, dependency, inheritance, cohesion, and coupling –Component construction: sequence of steps –Structured Programming and design notation (PDL) User Interface Design –Rules and guidelines –Analysis and design steps –Design evaluation

9. CS 8532: Adv. Software Eng. – Spring 2007 Dr. Hisham Haddad Course Overview - 5 Software Testing: –Testing strategies for conventional software: Unit testing, integration testing (bottom-up, top-down), regression testing –Testing strategies for OO software: class-level testing, and test case design –System testing and debugging –Testing techniques: whitebox and blackbox, basic path, OO testing methods. Software Metrics –Software quality: quality factors –Metrics for analysis model –Metrics for design model –Metrics for source code –Metrics for testing and maintenance

10. CS 8532: Adv. Software Eng. – Spring 2007 Dr. Hisham Haddad Course Project Select a project (system or part of a system) and conduct software requirements analysis and design, and generate a report with 3 parts throughout the semester: Project Development Plan (scope and schedule), Software Requirements Specification (SRS) and Software Design Document (SDD). Individual or team projects are allowed. Please send me your project idea with some explanation of its purpose and a description of the system to be developed. Goal: to apply OOA and OOD concepts and work with a modeling tool (UML). Suggested project ideas will be provided if needed.
